1/83 Manningham Street, Parkville, Vic 3052

Without question one of the best around, this ground-floor apartment certainly stands out from the crowd thanks to its brilliant renovations and terrific outdoors to enjoy - all in an exclusive city-fringe neighbourhood close to everything that counts.

Corner-positioned for an abundance of natural light, the home's on-trend interior comprises two generous bedrooms (both with custom robes) complemented by a terrazzo-tiled bathroom with brushed brass fittings and separate WC with concealed cistern. Adding to the appeal is a versatile open living/meals area serviced by a creatively reimagined kitchen complete with Paperock solid composite benchtops, Birch-ply cabinetry, induction cooktop and integrated Asko dishwasher. Other highlights of this amazing apartment include split-system heating/cooling and additional ceiling fans, double-glazed windows, efficient LED lighting and engineered Blackbutt timber flooring, as well as internal laundry facilities and excellent storage spaces throughout. Step outside to discover a big wrap-around courtyard ideal for relaxing or entertaining with extensive bluestone paving and fully-landscaped native gardens, plus the added appeal of a rear off-street parking space on title.

Instant access to the open spaces of both Manningham Reserve and Royal Park, it's also walking distance to Flemington Road trams, Flemington Bridge Station, Upfield Bike Path and Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, as well as easy access to Melbourne Zoo, hospital/university precincts and Citylink.
